This document defines the procedures for classifying, testing and labelling of cartridges for powder actuated tools (PAT cartridges), as defined in Clause 3 of this document. This document applies to PAT cartridges which are all classified as P1. This document does not apply to pyrotechnic articles containing blasting agents and military explosives except black powder and flash composition. PAT cartridges contain pyrotechnic composition(s) delivering mainly gases, intended to propel a piston. The piston propels fasteners (e.g. nails) or drives hard marking characters into appropriate materials. This document also applies to PAT cartridges sold to persons younger than 18 years, if this is permitted by the Member State due to the low hazard of the PAT cartridges. NOTE PAT cartridges can also be used for hard marking tools. Information on cartridge operated fixing and hard marking tools can be found in EN 15895:2025 [1]. This document applies to the cartridges listed in Table 1. Table 1 — Lists of the established calibres for PAT cartridges

This document specifies a laboratory method for obtaining water samples from preservative treated wood exposed out of ground contact (wood held in the storage yard after treatment and which has been in conditions designed to simulate outdoor, out of ground contact situations), at increasing time intervals after exposure.

This document specifies a method for preparing treated wood test specimens prior leaching test to obtain water samples from treated wood which has been in conditions designed to simulate treated wood exposed out of ground contact (wood held in the storage yard after treatment and which has been in conditions designed to simulate outdoor, out of ground contact situations, use Class 3), or continuous contact with the ground or with water (use Class 4 or 5). This document is also applicable to untreated wood and modified wood. NOTE 1 Test methods written in CEN/TC 38 include how to prepare specimens of wood and wood-based materials before leaching tests. NOTE 2 EN 350 can be considered when using this document for testing untreated wood or modified wood, regarding reference wood species, number of test specimens etc.
